Help!!!

Hi All

I today have just started on C programming as i want to become an Expert on computers and an expert with web sites, my first question on programming is how long does it take to become pretty good at C programming??? and another question how can i get the program to take information from places e.g ip address from a remote computer that i have no control over??? because i am trying to develop a kool program but i need to know a few basic things first to see if i should go ahead with my idea.

It took me about 2 months to get comfortable with the features of C++ that are used mainly far and wide. I had a lot of motivation though, so that definitely was a contributing factor to speedy learning.
